Raiders defense declining under Gruden

As TruMedia’s EPA model shows, the Raiders defense has been on the decline under Jon Gruden, writes Mike Sando in his weekly Pick Six column:

“But after the disaster against Indy in a measuring-stick game, the Raiders’ flaws are in the open. They rank last in defensive EPA since Gruden took over, down from 19th under Del Rio. … Against the Colts, the offense added 6.1 EPA, while the defense lost 23.5, its fifth-worst showing under Gruden and a figure worse than any during the 48-game Del Rio era. The Raiders rank seventh in offensive EPA per game this season, compared to 31st on defense.”
